warn your warmth to turn away

Sentosa trip with my 2 darlings (Alvin and my brother). I'm sunburnt!

29/08/05

Went over to Settler's Cafe at Clarke Quay to join Kazumi, Tat and Alan after work. That place is damn fun man! So many games, it's really a whole new "gaming" experience. And the staff there are very nice and helpful too. =) We stayed there until almost closing time. Lol...

I think it'll be MMC's new hangout. =D

30/08/05

Studied at BK at with Alvin. When we started getting bored, we eavesdropped on the conversation of these 2 girls who were sitting behind us. One of them turned out to be his freshie from Xeon, whom he found out when he "decided to go to the toilet" (in other words, take a peek at her while going to the toilet).

Then we started testing each other on which buses go where. Half the time, we had no idea where the buses started and ended. Lol...

31/08/05

Went to Marina Bay to meet the Niaos for steamboat. I thought Hwang-hwang would be there, but she didn't come. *sigh*

Anyway, we had a great time! They ran out of beef though. The lady was complaining to us that she didn't know there'd be so many people today, and they ran out of stock. But no fear! They've ordered some more! And thank goodness too, 'cos no steamboat would be complete without beef (moooooo).

So we contented ourselves with chicken first. I can never take the good chicken. Jin asked me to go and take and I came back with the unseasoned ones. Hehe... =D

Highlight of the day: The live prawns!

Trust me, I'm really not afraid of them. The only stuff I'm afraid of are cockroaches and bugs. That's all. But I hate twitching stuff too. And live prawns twitch.

So I was picking out one with the feeler (or antennae?) and it twitched. It scared me too, and I jumped and dropped the prawn on the table. Beak started squealing and made me pick it up. So I tried to pick it up, but you know I how I hate twitching stuff, so I was really apprehensive.

I grabbed at it blindly and I ended up grabbing... the whole prawn.

Wah lau. It's like that kinda situation when you wanna let go of it, but you can't? I wanted to dump it straight into the pot, but I was so afraid it'd jump and all the water would splash out.

So there I was, holding it and "crying", not daring to let go of it, but not daring to hold on to it either. BAHHHHH... In the end Beak and Hanee convinced me that I was squeezing it so tight it must be dead from suffocation anyway and made me dump it in the pot.

I also caught Beak writing my birthday card too! Hahaha... Had loads of fun taking pics later, and we sat in the bowling alley and talked for a long time. I wish Hwang-hwang wrote in the card too, though. I miss her. =(

By the way, I think I just found out that this regular at Dome is having an affair right under our noses.

There's this family of three (the child is a girl of 8) who comes in now and then to eat. The little girl always eats Sambal Chicken Rice. For some reason, she's super friendly, and always comes to talk to me.

This is the first time I've experienced a kid who would voluntarily talk to me, considering the fact that many people say I look very fierce when I don't smile. And I don't smile much at Dome (at least, not when I know it) on account of the amount of stupid people there. Trust me, you have no idea how many stupid people manage to find their way to Dome on my workdays.

So anyway, usually I'll just talk to her now and then when she speaks to me. But there was this particular time she talked to me more than usual, followed me around and stuff. She'd ask what I was doing when I topped up the sugar tin for example.

So while we talked, I referred to her dad sitting at table 22, and she said "他不是我的爸爸啦! 他是我的爸爸的朋友。我的爸爸不在新加坡，他刚回中国做工。" So the guy wasn't her dad! And I always thought he was her dad, because they looked so much like a family, even though the guy looked abit too old to be her dad (more like granddad man).

So after that, I started watching her father's "friend" and her mom. I was already suspecting that it was an affair.

It's so typical, isn't it? The guy is busy, and asks his supposed "friend" to take care of his beloved and the "friend" ends up overdoing on the care part and they end up having an affair. The guy finds out (of course, we haven't got to that bit yet) and there's a big hoo-ha over it ("Why did you do it? I thought we were friends!" "You were always not around! At least I could give her some love!") and the guy ends up killing his traitor-friend and his girl and he is thrown into an asylum (because he's gone mad after killing so many people) and rots there for the rest of his life. How's that?

Anyway, I delivered their strawberry sundae to their table and scurried off to a safe spot to spy on them. And I wasn't disappointed. Suddenly, the man brings his spoon laden with ice-cream to the lady's lips and feeds her.

Ooh, so Dome isn't a boring place after all! ^_^

Even though the girl told that man that I'd asked whether he was the dad, and he was deep in conversation (or interrogation. He was bent half across the table while talking) with her for 10min at least.
